[T3] Auto shift issue

Finally got the parts to make a test gauge. The pressure was a bit low but not the reason it would't shift. After sitting all summer there was enough gumpus to stick the modulator. I got it cleaned and freed up and we are back in business there.
The deal on the new modulator fell through. I skated on that one.

Jim when I replaced the vacuum line it is as you stated, split and entering the intake air distributer in two places. Hummm!

Brake questions: 
 I have a caliper (RF) that must be dragging. It felt like my wheel bearing (RF) was failing quickly. I pulled over and saw the rotor was glowing a dull red. I parked the car and made other arrangements. 
	1) If the rotor is not warped can I presume it is built to withstand that amount of heat? Or am I looking at 2 new rotors?
	2) Sourcing rebuilt calipers. These were rebuilt 10-12 years ago and I don't have the time to do it myself.
	3) Jim do I recall correctly that you have new hoses? If so let me know as I will need 2 and replace the pair. Also if you have calipers I will get them also. 

Thanks for all the help
